Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge

What a waste of money – Complete waste of money, that money was better off just buying veggies to make green smoothies which is a better tip I can give you than what this "business" does.

Changed my life! – When I signed up, I wasn't expecting much. I was obese, and scared that everyone would be fit and skinny. What I found was some people were in the same body as me. I did 3 rounds, I started at 120kgs and got down to 65kg by following the clean eat guide and going to her boot camps. No starving myself. It was a bit expensive. If I lost motivation… Read more

I could see why people would be angry having their money direct debited.

But I pushed through the Doms and was transformed and can life my life feeling confident. (I didn't even get saggy skin of anything because you tone!) those 36weeks changed my life.

Scam – Horrible, bullying company. Keep taking your money and don't respond to requests for refunds. They seem to make up rules for the group on the go and are Great at making this unclear to their followers. Stay away

Even your bank can not stop them accessing your money!! – I am totally disgusted by how this company operates. I did the program for a year and it was great and suited my lifestyle - until my lifestyle changed and I had 6 months left in my contract for sessions I could not attend. I then went in to pay nearly an extra $1000 for a program i could not attend. Then.... when my contract ended they kept… Read more

charging me $32 a week for a month! Apparently it my responsibility to contact them to tell them after my contract ends I want out - despite over 20 emails and messages going there way for me wanting out. I even contacted my bank to block them ( when the were not contactable) and the bank informed me the way it is set up they can not stop Ashy Bines taking money from my account unless I shut the whole account down!

I would text them and they replied it in Facebook messenger?You email and ask for a contact number they Refer you to use an APP to lodge questions.... but my log in details does not work.

Call the text number - they tell you there is a tech error and you have come through to Gym in the other side of Australia. Ask for a contact number to call for help to stop them accessing your account. They give you an email address....

Don't go with Ashy bines! Go with a company that is contactable and professional and not using smoke and mirrors.

Newcastle & Warners Bay - AWESOME program! – Personally I've thrown myself into the program for over a year now and have seen great results. I'm doing life with a great bunch of girls, I'm the healthiest and fittest I've ever been, I know how to eat well and nourish my body thanks to my trainers, and I have gained enough knowledge to know how to continue my own training once I decide to… Read more

leave the program. I love going to bootcamp - I just have to get myself there and be pushed.

The problem with their advertising is that the perfect body appears to be attainable with a 'quick fix' - that's why I initially signed up. It doesn't happen that way. You don't tone up for summer when summer is around the corner - the hard work happens in winter. They also have an extremely high turn over of participants which makes it difficult to get to know people on a personal level - those who stay usually make a connection with a few girls and they support each other through the journey. Girls leave otherwise once their minimal/trial time is up because there's less accountability and they don't feel like they belong.

Sure it's not cheap - but you're paying for PERSONAL TRAINING. You get support of a fit family and trainers who genuinely care and will help you when you ask for it. But you can't expect them to do all of the work for you. The only person who will get your bum to training is you. You are responsible for what you put in your mouth and how hard you work - just like any program. Life is what you make it - if people are disappointed with results within a short timeframe they really shouldn't blame it on the trainers or the program.

I've only had good experience with my area and the admin team - but I think the misunderstanding occurs with the misinterpretation of the marketed program that one signs up for. We all need to read the fine print when it comes to that sort of stuff and understand that fitness and health is a lifestyle change, not a fad that can be changed in '21 days' or a '6 week shred' - which is how they get girls to sign up.

Support group for fitness and positive women trying to achieve their goals, I found my fitness famil – I see a lot of people are angry on here and I could understand that the ABBBC may need to work harder on their admin and customer service side of processing payments or finalising ladies who changed their minds and not wish to have the fee deducted from account. By all my accounts I found that the company does write about their fee are honest that… Read more

it will be deducted and do provide a cancellation email and support for you to get through on. After the 7cent sign up it does specify that the fee will come in if not cancelled. There is even a cancellation email to contact. This should be enough to send through and should you keep the email trail, paper work then the company should honour this. It just might take some time to process.

I've been going to boot camp for about 1 month now, eating from the clean eating guide and I am thoroughly happy for deciding to take on this challenge. The admin side could be improved as I did have to work to ensure I was placed on as a member, didn't get any calls from the QLD team to see how my trial was going or to see if I wanted to sign up for longer, so I took it upon myself to do something about it and contacted them. Each time I had spoken to or seen a ABBBC representative they have been nothing short of AMAZING, helpful and encouraging.

My first training session in trial period I almost left before I went in, I am so happy I went inside and gave it a shot because I now have a consistent training regime with positive and healthy women.

Most of the reasons I failed in the past few year’s attempts at weight loss, even with Personal trainer and how many different diet and regimes I tried, were all not right for me and found that they promised big things with little to no delivery and with no coaching. ABBBC is different, their FB support group and LIFE app are so beneficial I found and I read it every day. Gain motivation from them and post back to inspire others.

If you find you are not happy with something, do something about it! Claiming that Ashy is a scam is not nice. The frustration is real, I coped it as well but how you decide to move forward is so important. In my case I persisted and found great results. It’s in your hands.

Please read before you sign into any commitment as most training programs have cost. If you are unhappy about something write to the business and FOLLOW it up. I work in admin myself and understand how messages easily don't get to the destined area, all it takes is a doggy line connection, so send it, follow it up and follow it up again till you are certain it had been dealt with is my advice.

ABBBC if you are reading this, working on the admin side of the business could help with your customer service and elevate these frustrated women from slagging off what a lot of other women are thrilled to be a part of, this health fitness movement. Plus if your cancellation or pull out system for women who changed their minds was quick and effective there wouldn't be this scale of displeased people. Your just pissing off honest hard working Australians who are trying to do the right thing for themselves. Just cancel them and leave give them their money back.

Thanks and I know I’ll be getting to an Ashy booty workout outdoors with such great weather today.

Not bad – I joined the abbbc bootcamps for the first 2 rounds they had in my local area. It was great, I had so much fun and met some great ppl. My trainer was awesome and went above and beyond for us. Only prob was it was SO expensive, more than double my gym membership now, and the times werent very flexible for full time workers, so i definitely wasn't getting my money's worth. Other than that I would have continued on

AM A HAPPY CAMPER – My progarmme offers: unlimited time at the gym, 5 training sessions a week, and i can schedule more if i am up to it. Great help understanding the chemistry of our bodies and how to make nutrition work for you. a dedicated trainer. support. overall it has been a turning point for me, I never exercised before and now I do. The environment… Read more

is really good at the Mermaid Beach ABTC. very supportive, very friendly, and after a while, you get to know a whole lot of people. My trainer Jade is great, and sometimes, when I swap classes (you are allowed to do that), I get Nick, who is awesome as well.

For someone who hates exercise, I am quite surprised at myself at the change of attitude towards exercise. I am not very good with the food, but am still happy with my gains in strength and general well-being. I don't think i will be leaving anytime soon. I have joined other gyms before and never stuck, but this one is different.

Best thing I ever started! – My observed results are better than my expectations. The trainers are awesome and make the program varied and fun. Everything was offered and the trainers are always available to help.

MASSIVE scam!!! – Just a money hungry business. All they care about is putting money in their pockets and finding ways to do so that are shady! Kept charging me well after I discontinued the plan!

MASSIVE SCAM! – They took so much money from my account and continued to do so until I literally canceled my card! They refused a refund and were extremely rude! Please please please don’t buy ANYTHING from this company.

Ashby Bines scam – Scam Ashby Bines Not a reputable company DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ASHBY BINES Scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam scam

Terrible – Agree with most other people. It's a scam. Such a rip off. Kept taking money out of my account even after the 12 weeks was over. Over $500 has been taken out without my knowledge. Extremely annoyed and upset.

Very ambiguous – Signed up for the 12 wk bikini challenge finishing in November 2016. All fine not for me though only for the beautiful people. I was unaware that I signed up to be a life member at $41.01AUD a month I did not authorise this not happy, the bank said that I would have to cancel my card and as they have these very dodgy terms and conditions I don't… Read more

really have a leg to stand on, when I disputed this and asked them to stop I got a very polite email stating we didn't here from you so we just went ahead.....No, what do you get every month? access to the beautiful people app and fb page? Any way I was sent a link to the terms and conditions mumbo jumbo and if there is anything else we can assist you with, yes stop taking my money......

So I cancelled my membership!! outcome pending. Moral of the story I am sure this program works for some people but just read the fine print before signing up to anything with this mob. At the end of the day its a business.

Don't sign up! They keep taking your money! – You think you are signing up just for 12 weeks, but they keeping taking $40 from your account every month. Even though it's written NO WHERE when signing up, you are signing up to a lifetime membership. BEWARE! They don't give refunds for ripping you off with hidden costs either.

Thieves!! – Signed up over 12 mths ago for a service I never received which was meant to be under $10 per month. After every possible attempt to cancel with no response what so ever I am now being charged over $30per month. Have contacted department of fair trading and commenced legal action to recover funds

Beware!!!!! Ashy Bines Scam – After calling up to join the 21 day challenge, I paid the advertised $21. Due to work commitments I was only able to make 2 days of the challenge. Ashy bines company has fruaded my bank account each "Week" following for $31. I asked them why they started taking money from my account and they stated I had not signed up to a contract so they… Read more

pick one for you and start taking your money,

This is what they do until you choose a program.

Its illegal to hold a persons card details and conduct transactions withour their knowledge and consent and refusing to issue an invoice/ receipt.

I never signed up to join up to any contract nor signed any contract.

Ashy bines this is stealing. You and your company are thieves.

Watch giving your bank card details to them before they take money as they dont offer any refunds..

This is proberly how the shelfish theif ashy bines jet sets off on fancy holidays with money she stole.

Terrible Service – I am appalled at how this company works!!! Even after multiple emails trying to get in contact with this company they STILL take money from my bank. Dipping into MY bank account every month even when the website will know I have not logged in since I signed up until today when I seen my account has had £20+ taken from it every month without fail… Read more

or confirmation of doing so! I'd like to cancel my membership with ashy bines as when I signed up I was told it was only a 5 pound payment ONE time only... i've never used this app and have just found out for the past 6 months i have been paying you money!!! i'm extremely unhappy about the little information I got from your website about what to do about this, and the amount of money i've wasted... that's over £100 to a company I thought was only 1 single £5 payment!!!! I do not advise this progromme as one to be used.

scam – I have been trying since March to cancel this. I have not once been contacted emailed or anything about the program but they still take money out my account. Emailed then 5 times and still no response has anyone else had this problem?

Ridiculous! – I have been trying to cancel my subscription for months calling all different number, emailing all different contacts through ashley bines. They keep stealing money out of my account ! I call it stealing because i have made it clear i do not want anything to do with any of their programs. I shouldn't have to cancel my card and reset everything up… Read more

just because this one company is pathetic and money hungry so they wont get back in contact with me to cancel my subscription. I dont know how many emails i have to send saying cancel i do not want anything moee to do with ashley bines. Its an absolute joke !

Not for me – -Sales great, delivery in Freshwater group poor -No weigh in, no intros to girls or group -Weekly program posted but that was about it, no food, meal plans or talk about nutrition -Trainer spent a lot of time looking at her phone and little time pushing on technique -Didn't want to sign up as would be an expense waste of time

Amazing and awesome! – I didn't e left to enjoy the program as much as I have. I absolutely love Holland Park training and Mitch and all the trainers have been so friendly and helpful and the sessions are kicking my butt! I really want to stay on after my 21 days are up. Can't imagine not being part of ABBBC holland park.

Awesome, changed my life – 1. My expectations to my observed results are very good. 2. Yes, the program and instructions are reasonably easy to follow. 3. Meal plans off the internet is provided ect - thanks

Disappointed by the level of service – I am extremely disappointed in my experience with Ashy Bines - Castle Hill Body Challenge. The PT trainers didn't seem to care about my concerns, always too busy... It was carried out in a backyard workshop, but I didn't want to judge the premises & concentrated on results. Not at all inspiring, the trainer seemed too interested in the hot girls… Read more

& even decided to cancel a session 15mins early, because they had to leave... Upon cancellation I was ripped off & the support team I contacted took forever to respond to my emails. No concern was shown, I was brushed off from one manager to another. They all told me they'd be happy to talk to the Fair Trading Office, yet failed to do so & I will now be taking them to the tribunal. It's not about the money for me now, but about the principles of conducting a business in a professional manner. I am sure ASHY BINES is a NICE PERSON, but my experience was horrible!

it is really inspiring – my results would be a lot better if I stay focused. I fall off the wagon too often. the program is pretty easy to follow once I knew exactly what I was looking for. meal plans, online support and online exercise was all available

Feedback – - your admin staff - this leaves something to be desired. It is hard to contact anyone when there is a problem, emails dont get answered, there is no phone number. - why cant dedicated people on the platinum pack, be given some sort of loyalty discount? we are the ones who sign up for long periods and are continuously loyal be given something… Read more

extra?

- i want to do my prac for my cert iii and iv but apparently ABBBC doesnt support this. Why so?

- we have amazing sessions. But it would be good to have one session a week/fortnight thats running. i know a lot of us want to improve our running, so maybe a 5km track, 8km track, 10km etc and we do it at our pace

- why is there now continuous 21 day free trials? this was never offered back in our time.

- more sessions between local groups, meeting each other, new training?

- we are VERY LUCKY to have Shae and Shaun. Shae goes well and truly above her call of duty

Just what I needed – It was everything i expected. Plenty of support from trainer and online in the forum. Good range of meal plan suggestions. Will be back once I'm able to get there. Family circumstances have come between my training.

Women's group training at its best – Trainers are supportive and informative, adapt to personal requirements I.e. Injuries or requested home workouts if you miss a session. If you follow the program you see the results. Builds body confidence.

Not enough flexible classes – I'm a nurse therefore work shift work and can barely make it to many of the sessions. However the sessions I've been to have been fantastic and the trainers are really motivating and have a lot of knowledge to share. This program would be perfect if it had morning and afternoon sessions daily to make it work for me. However there probably isn't the customer base for that so I will have to go elsewhere.

HORRIBLE! STAY CLEAR – SCAM SCAM SCAM! Run while you can! They will lure you into agreeing to terms and conditions which include useless hidden subscriptions by offering 'free goodies' which of course end up costing you over $39 per month without your knowledge. Run run run!

Perfect. Love it love my trainer, Erin Rose I think – I didn't have any expectations, have been following Ashy for years and decided to jump into it. I am able to follow the program and being with other girls is a great motivator.

Love the abbbc family – Loved it all from the recipes to the PT group sessions to the support Luke gives us. My results were more than I ever anticipated. I could follow the booty challenge really easily at home and even got my son and niece doing it to.

Great workouts and friendly faces! – Loving ashy bines bootcamps and already feeling fitter after only one week! The trainers are experienced and super friendly. All the girls are very supportive and encourage me to push myself to my limits!

Found a new love for exercise! – I have only just started my journey with ABBBC and so far am loving it, the online support and personal support from my trainer has been really great to keep me motivated and on track. Great group of girls. I am looking forward to continuing my journey with ABBBC and the Quakers Hill team.

I love asky!!! But the bootcamp is okay – My experience has been okay. At sometime has been hard to make it to bootcamp and keep motivated. Not much has been provided that i could really do myself. Which sadden me to say coz I love and believe in what ashy bines stay for.
